ROBERTSON ANNOUNCES RESIGNATION AFTER PRESSURE BROUGHT

Gregor Robertson, who is running for Mayor of Vancouver finally after pressure was brought, has decided to resign his Vancouver-Fairview MLA seat.

Mr. Robertson at first seemed intent on keeping his MLA seat and as reported here on Oldtown news, keeping his generous MLA salary which would provide him a tax-payer funded paycheck while campaigning to be Mayor.

Mr. Robertson right off the mark should have announced his intention to step down as MLA, however, he didn't and it appeared he was setting himself on a collision course with the public who are not agreeable to these types of matters.

For now Mr. Robertson has saved his skin, however, in future, one would hope that Mr. Robertson might display stronger leadership abilities especially if he wants to be Mayor of this City.

FINALLY. FINALLY. FINALLY. After four whole, entire, long days Gregor has made his decision. How dare he take time to think about his next step. What we really need is someone who makes decisions without thinking it through.Oh wait. That is what the city has had for the last three years with Sullivan. Wait. Didn't you endorse Sam?
